When to REALLY throw out your makeup


General Rules: If it has a bad smell toss it! 
                         If it's liquid and separating then it's best to discard it.
                         If it's completely shattered the trash bin is its new home.

What Is Strobing | Why It's Better For Imperfect Skin

Contouring has been all the rage for some time now but it's finally getting shoved aside for a new trend called strobing. If you're not a fan of highlighting then you're likely to skip this trend because it revolves around glowy, highlighted skin. It's finally time to stop throwing money left and right for contour palettes because one highlighter is all you need!

6 Lipstick Shades I Regret Buying | Drugstore & High End

Don't you just hate it when you try on a lipstick and sadly regret the shade you bought? I think we all do. So I dug through my stash and picked the top 6 shades I regret buying. Just remember it's the shade I don't like. To be honest, I love the formula of every lipstick I'm talking about but sometimes the shades are down right ugly. Now, let's take a look!

Blog Talk: What is wrong with me? | amenorrhea

Why don't I have periods? 
I'm not sure why I have waited so long to bring up this topic. Lately, its been bothering me but before a couple months ago I was completely fine with it. I figured I was lucky to not have periods like most women do. I saved money on tampons, I didn't have to endure cramps and the inconvenience of bleeding...but I didn't think about long term problems. Do I have anything medically wrong with me? Are my hormones going to be imbalanced for the rest of my life( and suffer from acne)?

 Can I have another baby? And that's what started my depression, the desire of having a baby. 

Some of you know, some don't, I have a toddler that's four and he's my angel. However, I always wanted to have more than one child. I grew up with the best siblings and I was always entertained by them. When the thought of having only one child raddles back and fourth in my head, I can't help but cry. My dear son won't have a sibling to hold on to during the hard times, he won't be an uncle or have anyone to play with growing up. A sister or brother is possibly the best family member you can have. You grow up together, live together and eventually pass away together. They are there practically your whole life. I feel like I'm failing my son since I can't give him the precious gift of a sibling. 

I also feel like it's time for me to have another baby. If you're a mom, then I'm sure you know what I mean. I can't help but think of the times when a baby is cradled in tight arms and rocked to sleep. The sweet moments of looking at them when their peacefully dreaming. Oh, the heavenly scent they give off. The love... I feel like my heart is wanting to love another child. But I'm afraid I can't. I'm sure everyone here knows how monthly cycles work. There's an egg, if it's not fertilized, then the uterus sheds(your period). I obviously don't lay an egg since I don't have periods. My last period was around June 20, 2014. Before that I had them around every four months and that's how I recieved my first child. Now, I just don't get them at all. So what's wrong with me? 

Curious about what my doctor has said? Nothing, because I haven't talked to one about my situation. I know I should but I'm afraid of any bad news I may recieve when I go in. Once it's confirmed I'm afraid my fears will be true.. Then, It will be real and right now it's just a thought forced in my head... I don't want that to happen. 

Anyways, I feel like I should stop this post here before I get too emotional. Sorry I haven't posted much lately but infertility can drown a woman with depression. I'll try to post more often! But let me know in the comments below if you have or currently are experiencing anything similar. I would love to know your story!
